The Horse Can Help In The Kitchen: Sense And Sensibility Chapters 1-5
Welcome to "Exemplary Vegetables," the podcast where two lifelong friends, Elizabeth and Rachael, dive into the world of Jane Austen. In this episode, we embark on season 2 of our podcast, with the first five chapters of Austen's timeless novel, "Sense and Sensibility."
Join us as we navigate the lives of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, in a society governed by propriety and the clash between sense and sensibility. Elizabeth and Rachael, who affectionately pretend to be sisters just like the Dashwoods, bring their shared love for Austen's work and their unique perspectives to the table.
In these initial chapters, we witness the Dashwood family's trials and tribulations following the death of their father. We explore the complexities of inheritance and the Machiavellian influence of Fanny Dashwood, John's calculating wife. Also known as a “B-word”.
Entails are hard on the Dashwoods, as they cannot inherit any part of their estate and are left penniless. Marianne personally hugs every tree on the estate and says, “Entail we meet again!”
Oh, and Hugh Grant? He’s just a boy standing in front of a script, begging Elinor to let her horse help in the kitchen. If that makes no sense to you at all, you’re going to want to listen to this week’s episode of the Exemplary Vegetables Podcast!
